“Ni habrá intelecto humano aislado, por enérgico y fecundo que sea, que tuerza la marcha lenta y progresiva de los naturales elementos de la vida, que van perfeccionándose y transformándose con la mayor elevación, por la educación y la libertad del hombre; que los derechos justos pedidos inteligentemente tendrán, sin necesidad de violencia, que vencer; que el único modo eficaz de mejorar los males sociales presentes, por medios naturales y efectivos,...

“To live is to love. To love is to resurrect”. These mystical verses by Dulce María LOynaz can summarize the life and the work of the emeritus archbishop from Santiago de Cuba, Pedro Claro Meurice Estiú who was rightly called “the Lion of the East”. The end of his pilgrimage took him by surprise in another shore of Cuba which is only one; it happened maybe as a visible sign of his passion to unify the Nation-in-Diaspora. And now that it happened there...

“Friendship is the greatest of the civic goods because if there is friendship the civil confrontations will be reduced to the minimum” (Aristotle: “The Nicomacheme Ethics”. Book IX, 1170) “Convivencia” magazine is going to be four years old. Its name (living together) is a need and a proposal. But we don’t want to speak about us.

It’s not only about economic inefficiency and exclusion but political, cultural, organizational and even sports inefficiency and exclusion. All of them lead to, and have their root cause in the inefficiency and the anthropological erosion which is the damage caused to the human person and prevents his full and happy development. It is, above all, a spiritual inefficiency....
Four hundred years ago three men representatives of the Creole stratum of the Island picked up from the sea, after the storm, a small and brown image of Mary, Jesus of Nazareth’s mother. That was the symbol of our domestic encounter between three cultures: two Indians, a black slave and an icon of the Christian religion which is the religious matrix of our identity. The storm was the proof that no transculturation takes place over the serene...
